Oregon Electric RailwayThe Oregon Electric Railway, Preferred Shares, 1909. The OERY was incorporated in Oregon in 1906, and was eventually merged into the Spokane, Portland & Seattle (SP&S).There were not many of these (Preferred Shares) issued, and almost all that were issued, were issued in 1909. According to the stubs, the first was issued in 1908, and the last four were issued in 1910. The certificate is printed by the Broun-Green Co, 48 John St. NY. In the upper corners appear two different electric lanterns; in the lower corners, a dynamo and a telephone. There is an embossed seal near the lower left corner. We have a few of these, so you may not receive the one shown in the image; however, they are all of like condition. They were all folded for mailing and storage. We will ship this in a flat mailer, unfolded. Price: $135.00 + shipping.
